Heckler: Good thing you make $4.75M a year. I’d pay you that much to get off the stage!

Guy: Ugh. No one appreciates art these days.

EE: [whispers into iPod voice recorder] See if Lance Berkman might be interested.

Every Friday, Dave McCarty used to join us to discuss a topic of
interest to him and probably no one else but the author of this site.
Since he was designated for assignment recently and will mostly like
retire, EE is in the process of finding a replacement. Special thanks to Andrew of 12eight for the Miguel Batista suggestion. He’s a fan of “bad puns.” This seems to indicate that he believes good puns exist. Who will break the truth to him?

Let's give it some time. See what other candidates might pop up before we jump on the "Keep Dave!!" bandwagon. Maybe we'll get lucky and Dave will sign on with a front office somewhere, and he can still have some free time for commentary. However we may have to resign ourselves that Dave might want to move on. Give the potentials a little slack though.

I say keep Dave...but if you really wanna have some fun and don't mind using a retired by, Leskanic would be a great replacement. Or Millar. Millar would do anything. And I'm sure Schill's not up to much these days. Bellhorn would be a funny dude too.
